About This Quiz

Were you a fan of "Bewitched" and "I Dream of Jeannie," "The Andy Griffith Show" and "The Dick Van Dyke Show," "Gilligan's Island" and "The Beverly Hillbillies?" Or did you prefer something more futuristic, like "Star Trek" and "The Jetsons?" Whatever your preference, 60s television had some of the best shows in the history of the medium. Not only did many of them pave the way for modern network television, but they also produced (and introduced us to) some of the best actors and actresses of the day!

Many of the shows stayed on-air for years after they premiered in the 1960s, and many of the characters went on to have spin-off shows. Some of them, like "Hawaii Five-O," "The Twilight Zone" and "Mission: Impossible," have been rebooted or have made their way onto the big screen.

Were you alive during the 60s? If not, are you a fan of one of the best decades of television?

If you get stumped, you can always use a hint to get you through. Let's see how well you remember these compelling characters!

Andy Griffith (as Sheriff Andy Taylor) was a fixture on American TV sets during the 1960s. There never was a child cuter than Opie, a friend more loyal than Barney or a small town so filled with strange but lovable characters. The show was meant to be the platonic ideal of small town America.
